I would like to add that 1.9X is a Beta version, and I would like to
think that the final release will have a comprehensive 'Grammar
Checker' to suit most languages.
Grammar Checking _might_ be integrated into OOo 3.0.
Creating the rule sets for grammar checking is very time consuming.
The basic procedure is:
i) Create a dictionary.
ii) Match a part of speech to every word in the dictionary;
iii) Match a part of speech to every suffix, affix, and concord for
the dictionary;
iv) Create your basic rules sets. [This is things like noun verb
noun.]
v) Then create the more complex rules
Step one can take two or three months;
Step two can take one person six months to a year;
Step three can take one person six months to a year;
Step four takes one person one to two years;
Step five takes one person two to three years;
The fastest way to speed up the process is to increase the number of
people working on the project.

When I worked for a large corporation, we referred to the notion that
merely adding people to a project would decrease the time to job
completion as the "9 women, 1 month, 1 baby method".
But it's a method that does produce results under certain
circumstances. One has to be wary of the "point of diminishing
returns." If one worker can produce one unit per day and two
workers can produce two units per day, it does not necessarity
follow that two workers can produce one unit in half a day.
